Entomology Update - May 2026

Still too cold for much entomology at the start of the month then too hot! A late season generally, many species still immature when in recent years they have been adults. 


I've been asked several times recently about how I take photographs of parasitic wasps, so here are the nerdy details of my current setup. 

Notable Finds

Tetramesa fulvicollis, 1st record for VC55
Omphale lugens, 1st record for VC55
Leiophron apicalis, 1st record for VC55


Leiophron apicalis
